A really useful book is:
Prove it! - Measuring the effect of neighbourhood renewal on local people.
It talks about involving users in developing performance indicators, and has
lots of egs of performance indicators which might not all be directly

Also, re finding out what children think...
Article 31 Action Pack - Children's Rights and Children's Play, ed. Harry
Shier (PlayTrain, 1995)
Includes guidance on children's participation in decision-making and
consultation techniques. Tel 0121 766 8446, email
[log in to unmask] PlayTrain also runs the Article 31 Children's
Consultancy Scheme, which organises specialist consultancies by children and
can bear some of the cost.
A Journey of Discovery, ed. Judy Miller (Save the Children, 1999)
Focuses on consultation undertaken for the Children's Discovery Centre, East
London, and describes ways of empowering children to make their views known.
